The story

On Cape Breton Island in 1937, 16-year-old Donald Campbell's mother wants him to continue his education after high school and become a priest, but Donald is more interested in girls. He is also frightened after a visiting priest attempts to molest him. When not in school, Donald spends his time helping his father dig a bootleg pit; helps care for his older brother, Joe, who was the brightest boy in his grade until he got sick and was left disabled; and pursues Saxon Coldwell, one of two daughters of police Sergeant Coldwell and his recently deceased wife.
